技术领域technical field

背景技术Background technique

一个主动式矩阵显示装置,例如一个主动式矩阵液晶显示(AMLCD)面板,其具有一个包括复数个像素列的二维像素矩阵。如图1所示,每个像素列具有复数个设置于x方向的像素。这些像素列于y方向排成直线,使其可被一或多个扫描电路中的扫描线所提供的扫描信号依序驱动。在图1中,显示面板10具有一个包含像素22的显示区域20。每个像素列是通过一个扫描电路或门线驱动器40提供的一条栅线Gn所驱动。经由一源极驱动器或数据芯片30将提供给像素列的数据信号送到复数个条数据线Dn上。An active matrix display device, such as an active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) panel, has a two-dimensional pixel matrix including a plurality of pixel columns. As shown in FIG. 1 , each pixel column has a plurality of pixels arranged in the x direction. These pixels are arranged in a straight line in the y direction, so that they can be sequentially driven by scanning signals provided by one or more scanning lines in the scanning circuit. In FIG. 1 , the display panel 10 has a display area 20 including pixels 22 . Each pixel column is driven by a gate line Gn provided by a scanning circuit or gate line driver 40 . The data signals provided to the pixel columns are sent to a plurality of data lines Dn via a source driver or a data chip 30 .

在一个液晶显示面板(liquid crystal display,以下简称“LCD”)中,由于液晶的反应时间不够快速,有时会在一串的动画中产生动态影像残影效应(motionblur effect)。因此,目前已有许多方法试图降低或消除此现象。其中一项用以降低动态影像残影效应的技术是通过将液晶过驱动(overdriving)来缩短其反应时间。另一项技术则为黑帧(darker frame)插入技术,其中一或多个帧中的空白数据(blanking data)将在一个影像帧(frame)被显示后,提供至显示面板。部分现有的解决动态影像残影效应的方法会产生例如鬼影影像以及双边界(double-edge)影像等非理想现象。In a liquid crystal display panel (hereinafter referred to as "LCD"), because the response time of the liquid crystal is not fast enough, sometimes a motion blur effect will be generated in a series of animations. Therefore, there are many methods to try to reduce or eliminate this phenomenon. One of the techniques used to reduce the afterimage effect of moving images is to shorten the response time of liquid crystals by overdriving them. Another technique is the darker frame insertion technique, in which blanking data in one or more frames is provided to the display panel after an image frame is displayed. Some existing methods for solving the afterimage effect of moving images may produce non-ideal phenomena such as ghost images and double-edge images.

因此,需要提供一种用以解决主动式矩阵显示装置上的动态影像残影效应问题的方法以及系统。Therefore, there is a need to provide a method and system for solving the problem of the image sticking effect on the active matrix display device.

The driving method according to the present invention divides each image frame into one or more displayed frame parts, and each displayed frame part is followed by a black frame part. The time separation between the displayed frame portion and the black frame portion is less than one frame time. This means that in a frame, data for a displayed image on a pixel in each displayed time portion is only provided to the pixel for a fraction of a frame time. During the remainder of the same frame, data is removed to reduce the brightness of the pixels.

在一依据本发明的实施例中,每个影像帧被分割为3个已显示帧部分,并且每个已显示帧部分接着一个黑帧部分。已显示帧部分与其对应黑帧部分间的时间分隔大致上等于一个帧时间的一半。然而,此时间分隔可被调整。如图2所示为依据本发明实施例的显示面板的驱动排列。在此实施例中,举例来说,假设显示面板的分辨率为1366×768。为了提供扫描信号至768条栅极线,3个栅线驱动器401、402以及403是分别地用来驱动一组的栅线G1到G256、一组的栅线G257到G512以及一组的栅线G513到G768。栅线驱动器401、402以及403是串接方式设置且分别地由控制信号YOE1、YOE2以及YOE3所控制。In an embodiment according to the present invention, each image frame is divided into 3 displayed frame parts, and each displayed frame part is followed by a black frame part. The time separation between a displayed frame portion and its corresponding black frame portion is approximately equal to half of a frame time. However, this time separation can be adjusted. FIG. 2 shows the driving arrangement of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, for example, it is assumed that the resolution of the display panel is 1366×768. In order to provide scanning signals to 768 gate lines, three gate line drivers 40 1 , 40 2 and 40 3 are respectively used to drive a group of gate lines G1 to G256, a group of gate lines G257 to G512 and a group of gate lines G257 to G512. grid lines G513 to G768. The gate line drivers 40 1 , 40 2 and 40 3 are arranged in series and controlled by control signals YOE1 , YOE2 and YOE3 respectively.

在图2中,YDIO用以提供一开始扫描一帧的信号。XDIO用以提供一同步每一条栅线的扫描的信号。YCLK表示时钟信号。XSTB、XPOL以及BDO是与这些栅线相关的控制信号。这些信号的描述请参考图3至图5的说明。In Figure 2, YDIO is used to provide a signal to start scanning a frame. XDIO is used to provide a signal for synchronizing the scanning of each gate line. YCLK represents a clock signal. XSTB, XPOL and BDO are control signals associated with these gate lines. For the description of these signals, please refer to the descriptions of FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 .

在图3中,Vactive表示在一帧时间内的主动(active)周期。在一帧时间内,YDIO提供一信号至栅线G1,用以开始一帧的扫描。等到栅线开启至G383后,YDIO再度提供一信号至栅线G1。此第二的YDIO信号表示为VT-YDIO信号(参见图6)。这些栅线信号决定了帧扫描速率。在一帧时间内,3个已显示帧部分的时间周期是以控制信号YOE1、YOE2以及YOE3中的YOED来表示。3个黑帧部分分别接续在3个已显示帧部分之后且时间周期是以控制信号YOE1、YOE2以及YOE3中的YOEB来表示。值得注意的是,每个YOED包含一序列的脉冲以激活在一组对应的栅线中像素的充电,而每个YOEB则包含一序列的脉冲以激活一组对应的栅线中像素的放电。在相同的YOEN(N=1至3)控制信号中,YOEB的脉冲序列是落后YOED的脉冲序列为至少一颗Gate Driver的channel数,例如256条栅线的时间。图4显示YOED中的每个脉冲以及在YOEB中的对应脉冲的时间关系示意图。In FIG. 3, Vactive represents an active period within one frame time. During one frame time, YDIO provides a signal to the gate line G1 to start a frame of scanning. After the gate line is turned on to G383, YDIO provides a signal to the gate line G1 again. This second YDIO signal is denoted as VT-YDIO signal (see FIG. 6). These raster line signals determine the frame scan rate. In one frame time, the time period of three displayed frame parts is represented by YOED in the control signals YOE1, YOE2 and YOE3. The three black frame portions follow the three displayed frame portions respectively and the time period is represented by YOEB in the control signals YOE1 , YOE2 and YOE3 . It should be noted that each YOED includes a sequence of pulses to activate charging of pixels in a corresponding set of gate lines, and each YOEB includes a sequence of pulses to activate discharge of pixels in a corresponding set of gate lines. In the same YOEN (N=1 to 3) control signal, the pulse sequence of YOEB is behind the pulse sequence of YOED by the channel number of at least one Gate Driver, for example, the time of 256 gate lines. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the time relationship of each pulse in YOED and the corresponding pulse in YOEB.

图4显示个别信号线上的信号时序图。在图4中,DE表示768条栅线的每一数据使能信号。XDIO表示在一个扫描电路中,用以驱动与扫描电路相关的每条栅线的来源输入脉冲。G1、G2...G(k+n)表示扫描信号线,其中栅极脉冲是连续地提供并同步于YOED脉冲。YOED脉冲是通过y时钟信号YCLK所触发。值得注意的是,图3中所示的YOEB上的脉冲序列是落后YOED上的脉冲序列约k条线的时间周期。举例来说,若k的值为如图3所示的383的话,则YOEB上的脉冲序列的第一个脉冲会于YOED上的第一个脉冲序列经过约383条线的时间周期后才开始。因此,任何栅线的第二栅线脉冲B会落后在同一栅线的栅线脉冲D。Figure 4 shows the timing diagram of the signals on the individual signal lines. In FIG. 4, DE denotes each data enable signal of 768 gate lines. XDIO represents the source input pulse used to drive each gate line related to the scan circuit in a scan circuit. G1 , G2 . . . G(k+n) represent scanning signal lines in which gate pulses are continuously provided and synchronized with YOED pulses. The YOED pulse is triggered by the y clock signal YCLK. It is worth noting that the pulse sequence on YOEB shown in Fig. 3 is about k lines behind the pulse sequence on YOED. For example, if the value of k is 383 as shown in Figure 3, the first pulse of the pulse train on YOEB will start after the time period of about 383 lines of the first pulse train on YOED . Therefore, the second grid pulse B of any grid line will lag behind the grid pulse D of the same grid line.

在图4中,XSTB是表示一个来自扫描电路的输出脉冲序列,其与源极输入脉冲序列XDIO相关。源极输入脉冲序列XDIO是与源极驱动信号BDO同步,其为提供至源极驱动器的一个特殊信号。如果当XSTB具有一上升缘时,BDO为高准位,接着源极驱动器会相应于XSTB的下降缘,输出一个预设的低亮度值。如果当XSTB具有一上升缘时,BDO为低准位,接着源极驱动器会相应于XSTB的下降缘,输出一个正常的影像数据。此外,在表示开始一帧扫描的YDIO信号的上升缘后,每个奇数号XSTB脉冲标示了开始一特定栅线上的像素的充电时间,而每个接着的偶数号XSTB脉冲标示了开始同一栅线上的像素的放电时间。In FIG. 4, XSTB represents an output pulse sequence from the scanning circuit, which is related to the source input pulse sequence XDIO. The source input pulse sequence XDIO is synchronized with the source drive signal BDO, which is a special signal provided to the source driver. If BDO is high when XSTB has a rising edge, then the source driver will output a preset low brightness value corresponding to the falling edge of XSTB. If BDO is low when XSTB has a rising edge, then the source driver will output a normal image data corresponding to the falling edge of XSTB. In addition, after the rising edge of the YDIO signal that indicates the start of a frame scan, each odd-numbered XSTB pulse marks the start of charging time for pixels on a specific grid line, and each subsequent even-numbered XSTB pulse marks the start of charging time for the pixels on the same grid line. The discharge time of the pixels on the line.

图3显示两帧间的各种信号脉冲的时序图,而图5则显示两栅线间的各种信号脉冲的时序图。在图5中,XPOL表示一个摇摆类型(swing type)显示的极性信号。如果当XSTB具有一上升缘时,XPOL为高准位,则相应于XSTB的下降缘供应给第一个像素的Vcom信号(未显示)为正。如前述,每个奇数号XSTB脉冲标记一特定信号线上的像素的充电时间的开始,每个接下来的偶数号XSTB脉冲则标记同一条信号线上的像素的放电时间的开始。充电(上升)以及放电(下降)的时序是与一个像素的亮度增减相关。因此,在一充电曲线以及放电曲线下的区域与一个帧时间内一个像素所产生的总亮度相关。图6为显示一像素的充电以及放电示意图。FIG. 3 shows a timing diagram of various signal pulses between two frames, and FIG. 5 shows a timing diagram of various signal pulses between two gate lines. In Figure 5, XPOL represents a polarity signal displayed by a swing type. If XPOL is high when XSTB has a rising edge, the Vcom signal (not shown) supplied to the first pixel corresponding to the falling edge of XSTB is positive. As mentioned above, each odd-numbered XSTB pulse marks the start of the charging time of pixels on a particular signal line, and each subsequent even-numbered XSTB pulse marks the beginning of the discharging time of pixels on the same signal line. The timing of charging (rising) and discharging (falling) is related to the brightness increase or decrease of a pixel. Therefore, the area under a charging curve and a discharging curve is related to the total brightness produced by a pixel within a frame time. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing charging and discharging of a pixel.

由图6可知,第一YDIO信号开始了栅线G1上的像素的充电,而第二YDIO(VT-YDIO)信号则开始了同一栅线G1上的像素的放电。VT-YDIO信号开始了与其对应的黑帧部分的时间周期。此时,YDIO以及VT-YDIO被设定,以调整一个已显示帧部分及其对应黑帧部分之间的时间分隔。在图6中,Td为以一影像数据(上升数据)充电一像素所需的可调整的时间周期,Tb为以一黑色数据(下降数据)放电一像素所需的时间周期。Td以及Tb的总和大致上等于一水平线时间(Td+Tb=1H时间),其中,水平线时间定义为一DE信号的主动时间(参见图4与图5)。It can be seen from FIG. 6 that the first YDIO signal starts charging the pixels on the gate line G1, and the second YDIO (VT-YDIO) signal starts discharging the pixels on the same gate line G1. The VT-YDIO signal starts the time period of its corresponding black frame portion. At this time, YDIO and VT-YDIO are set to adjust the time separation between a displayed frame portion and its corresponding black frame portion. In FIG. 6 , Td is an adjustable time period required to charge a pixel with an image data (rising data), and Tb is a time period required to discharge a pixel with a black data (falling data). The sum of Td and Tb is roughly equal to a horizontal line time (Td+Tb=1H time), wherein the horizontal line time is defined as an active time of a DE signal (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ).

值得注意的是,介于一个偶数号YDIO脉冲(放电信号)以及前一个奇数号YDIO脉冲(充电信号)间的时间分隔是可调整的,以调整一个帧时间内一条信号线上的一个像素的亮度的增加或减少。当一个像素的亮度由低变为高时,举例来说,亮度改变后的第一个帧的充放电曲线(参见图6)通常不同于后续帧的充放电曲线。因此,第一个帧的总亮度不同于(且通常小于)每个后续帧的总亮度,如图7所示。如图7所示,帧A、B、C以及D的总亮度分别表示为区域A、区域B、区域C以及区域D。由图7可知,区域A小于区域B,而区域B小于区域C。It is worth noting that the time interval between an even-numbered YDIO pulse (discharging signal) and the previous odd-numbered YDIO pulse (charging signal) is adjustable to adjust a pixel on a signal line within a frame time. Increase or decrease in brightness. When the brightness of a pixel changes from low to high, for example, the charge-discharge curve of the first frame after the brightness change (see FIG. 6 ) is usually different from the charge-discharge curve of subsequent frames. Therefore, the total brightness of the first frame is different (and usually smaller) than that of each subsequent frame, as shown in FIG. 7 . As shown in FIG. 7 , the total luminance of frames A, B, C, and D are denoted as area A, area B, area C, and area D, respectively. It can be seen from FIG. 7 that area A is smaller than area B, and area B is smaller than area C.

几个帧后,亮度将会变稳定。如图7所示,区域C大致上等于区域D。当亮度变稳定时,其峰值大致等同于L_Stable_H,且最低亮度大致等同于L_Stable_L。举例来说,在图7中的前2个帧的亮度相应于影像数据灰阶16,且后续的4个帧的亮度相应于影像数据灰阶128。然而,在经过低灰阶值到高灰阶值的转换后,亮度无法马上达到稳定状态。因此,可能产生所谓的动态影像残影效应。在图7中,L_Stable_Ha以及L_Stable_La表示灰阶16的最高以及最低亮度值,而L_Stable_Hb以及L_Stable_Lb表示灰阶128的最高以及最低亮度值。After a few frames, the brightness will stabilize. As shown in FIG. 7, area C is substantially equal to area D. As shown in FIG. When the luminance becomes stable, its peak value is approximately equal to L_Stable_H, and its minimum luminance is approximately equal to L_Stable_L. For example, the brightness of the first 2 frames in FIG. 7 corresponds to the image data gray scale 16, and the brightness of the following 4 frames corresponds to the image data gray scale 128. However, after transitioning from a low grayscale value to a high grayscale value, the luminance cannot reach a steady state immediately. Therefore, a so-called motion image sticking effect may occur. In FIG. 7 , L_Stable_Ha and L_Stable_La represent the highest and lowest brightness values of grayscale 16, and L_Stable_Hb and L_Stable_Lb represent the highest and lowest brightness values of grayscale 128.

本发明利用一种影像数据调整电路(参见图9),用以在一亮度改变后,调整前几个帧的亮度,以减少不同帧间的总亮度差异。因此,可减少动态影像残影效应。一般而言,调整方式是采用增加上述前几个帧的影像数据,使得亮度可立即达到其稳定状态。The present invention uses an image data adjustment circuit (see FIG. 9 ) to adjust the brightness of the first few frames after a brightness change, so as to reduce the total brightness difference between different frames. Therefore, the afterimage effect of moving images can be reduced. Generally speaking, the adjustment method is to increase the image data of the above-mentioned first few frames, so that the brightness can reach its stable state immediately.

在依据本发明的第一实施例中,影像数据调整电路在一亮度改变后增加前几个帧的影像数据,使得在亮度达到其稳定状态后,每个上述前几个帧中的一个像素的总亮度大致等同于下一个帧中的同一像素的总亮度,如图8a所示。In the first embodiment according to the present invention, the image data adjustment circuit increases the image data of the first several frames after a brightness change, so that after the brightness reaches its stable state, the pixel value of each of the above-mentioned first several frames The total brightness is approximately equal to the total brightness of the same pixel in the next frame, as shown in Figure 8a.

在图8a以及图8d中,总亮度表示为亮度曲线下的区域,以维持下列关系:In Figures 8a and 8d, the total luminance is expressed as the area under the luminance curve to maintain the following relationship:

区域A≥区域B≥区域C≥区域D,Area A ≥ Area B ≥ Area C ≥ Area D,

其中区域D表示没有影像数据调整下的稳定状态总亮度。Area D represents the steady-state total brightness without image data adjustment.

在依据本发明的第二实施例中,影像数据调整电路在一亮度改变后增加前几个帧的影像的亮度,使得在亮度达到其稳定状态后,每个上述前几个帧中的一个像素的峰值亮度大致等同于下一个帧中的同一像素峰值亮度。用以增加亮度的影像数据调整所需的帧数量取决于液晶的反应时间以及像素里的电荷储存。一般而言,可增加4或5个帧的亮度便足够。然而,所需的帧数量也可更多或更少。如图8b所示,帧A、B以及C中的峰值亮度等同于帧D中的峰值亮度。帧D中的峰值亮度表示没有影像数据调整下的稳定状态时的峰值亮度,或L_Stable_H。In the second embodiment according to the present invention, the image data adjustment circuit increases the brightness of the image of the first few frames after a brightness change, so that after the brightness reaches its stable state, one pixel in each of the above-mentioned first few frames The peak brightness of is roughly equivalent to the peak brightness of the same pixel in the next frame. The number of frames required for image data adjustment to increase brightness depends on the response time of the liquid crystal and the charge storage in the pixel. Generally speaking, a brightness increase of 4 or 5 frames is sufficient. However, more or fewer frames may be required. As shown in Fig. 8b, the peak luminance in frames A, B and C is equal to the peak luminance in frame D. The peak luminance in frame D represents the peak luminance at steady state without image data adjustment, or L_Stable_H.

在依据本发明的第三实施例中,影像数据调整电路在一亮度改变后增加前几个帧的影像的亮度,使得在亮度达到其稳定状态后,每个上述前几个帧中的一个像素的亮度最低点大致等同于同一像素在稳定状态时的亮度最低点,L_Stable_L,如图8c所示。In the third embodiment according to the present invention, the image data adjustment circuit increases the brightness of the images of the first several frames after a brightness change, so that after the brightness reaches its stable state, one pixel in each of the above-mentioned first several frames The minimum brightness point of is roughly equivalent to the minimum brightness point of the same pixel in the steady state, L_Stable_L, as shown in Figure 8c.

在依据本发明的第四实施例中,影像数据调整电路在一亮度改变后增加前几个帧的影像的亮度,使得在亮度达到其稳定状态后,每个上述前几个帧中的一个像素的峰值亮度高于L_Stable_H,如图8d所示。In the fourth embodiment according to the present invention, the image data adjustment circuit increases the brightness of the images of the first several frames after a brightness change, so that after the brightness reaches its steady state, one pixel in each of the above-mentioned first several frames The peak brightness of L_Stable_H is higher than that of L_Stable_H, as shown in Fig. 8d.

因此,依据本发明的上述实施例,一个影像数据调整电路是在一亮度改变后用以调整送至一像素的数据,以便缩短亮度改变到达到其稳定状态所需的时间。一般而言,在亮度改变后,前几个帧的影像数据将增加。此外,一帧中的总亮度可通过改变一个帧时间里的第一YDIO信号与第二YDIO信号(VT-YDIO)间的时间分隔加以调整。一帧中的总亮度也可通过改变充电时间Td以及放电时间Tb加以调整。Therefore, according to the above embodiments of the present invention, an image data adjustment circuit is used to adjust the data sent to a pixel after a brightness change, so as to shorten the time required for the brightness change to reach its stable state. Generally speaking, after the brightness is changed, the image data of the first few frames will increase. In addition, the total brightness in one frame can be adjusted by changing the time separation between the first YDIO signal and the second YDIO signal (VT-YDIO) in one frame time. The total brightness in one frame can also be adjusted by changing the charging time Td and discharging time Tb.

本发明的动态影像残影减少方法,举例来说,可利用一个如图9所示的影像数据调整电路100来实现。当输入数据被一个影像卡接收并且处理成适合显示面板的格式后,此处理过的输入数据将被储存在帧存储器控制器110的一个帧存储器内。帧存储器控制器110具有2个互连的部分:帧存储器以及一个用以将处理过的输入数据转换成一个可以储存的适当格式的时序控制器。此外,此储存在帧存储器的数据也可被转换成一个可供时序控制器使用的适当格式。当帧存储器控制器撷取此储存的输入数据时,此储存的输入数据将被传送到一个脉冲时序(Impulse timing)产生器区块150、一个脉冲数据产生器区块130以及一个脉冲数据回授(feedback)区块120。脉冲数据回授区块120为一个回授模块,其是用来处理连续数个帧中的数据,并将此处理过的数据传送到一个加总装置,加总装置会将输入数据以及回授处理过的数据相加或相减,并将加总结果储存在帧存储器中。The method for reducing the residual image of a moving image of the present invention, for example, can be realized by using an image data adjustment circuit 100 as shown in FIG. 9 . After the input data is received by a video card and processed into a format suitable for the display panel, the processed input data will be stored in a frame memory of the frame memory controller 110 . The frame memory controller 110 has two interconnected parts: the frame memory and a timing controller to convert the processed input data into a suitable format where it can be stored. In addition, the data stored in the frame memory can also be converted into an appropriate format for use by the timing controller. When the frame memory controller retrieves the stored input data, the stored input data will be sent to an impulse timing (Impulse timing) generator block 150, an impulse data generator block 130 and an impulse data feedback (feedback) block 120. The pulse data feedback block 120 is a feedback module, which is used to process the data in several consecutive frames, and transmit the processed data to a summing device, and the summing device will input data and feedback The processed data is added or subtracted, and the summed result is stored in the frame memory.

脉冲时序产生器区块150是用来比较在目前帧与前一个或前几个帧中的处理过的输入数据,并依据此比较结果产生一个指示信号。此指示信号接着传送到脉冲数据产生器区块130、一光学升/降(Rising/Failing)时序控制器区块180以及一充电时间控制器区块190。利用此指示信号,区块130、140、180以及190可依据个别区块的功能决定如何去减少动态影像残影。特别是,脉冲数据产生器区块130是用以提供输出影像数据至像素中。举例来说,脉冲数据产生器区块130可在一亮度改变后用来增加前几个帧的影像数据。光学升/降时序控制器区块180是用以提供YDIO信号。光学升/降时序控制器区块180可在一亮度改变后,用来缩短或延长前几个帧的一个帧时间里的YDIO信号与VT-YDIO信号间的时间分隔。充电时间控制器区块190用以产生可以控制液晶充电时间的XSTB、YOED以及XPOL控制信号。举例来说,控制器区块190可用来调整XSTB脉冲的宽度,用以控制液晶的充电以及放电时间。The pulse timing generator block 150 is used to compare the processed input data in the current frame with the previous one or several previous frames, and generate an indication signal according to the comparison result. The indication signal is then sent to the pulse data generator block 130 , an optical rising/falling (Rising/Failing) timing controller block 180 and a charging time controller block 190 . Using the indication signal, the blocks 130 , 140 , 180 and 190 can determine how to reduce the afterimage according to the function of each block. In particular, the pulse data generator block 130 is used to provide output image data to the pixels. For example, the pulse data generator block 130 can be used to increase the image data of the first few frames after a brightness change. The optical up/down timing controller block 180 is used to provide the YDIO signal. The optical up/down timing controller block 180 can be used to shorten or extend the time separation between the YDIO signal and the VT-YDIO signal in one frame time of the first few frames after a brightness change. The charging time controller block 190 is used to generate XSTB, YOED and XPOL control signals for controlling the liquid crystal charging time. For example, the controller block 190 can be used to adjust the width of the XSTB pulse to control the charging and discharging time of the liquid crystal.

此外,除了在一亮度改变后调整前几个帧的亮度之外,一个可消除托影的数据区块140也被用来产生可以减少残影的黑色或灰阶插入数据。当插入提供的黑色或灰阶数据时,使用一多任务器160以依据来自脉冲时序产生器150的指示信号,在想要的帧中插入这些插入数据。In addition, in addition to adjusting the brightness of the first few frames after a brightness change, a data block 140 that can eliminate shadowing is also used to generate black or grayscale interpolation data that can reduce ghosting. When interpolating the provided black or grayscale data, a multiplexer 160 is used to insert the interpolation data in desired frames according to the indication signal from the pulse timing generator 150 .

再者,一个伽玛校正表(Gamma correction table)170用来选择伽玛电压,使得提供给液晶显示的影像数据为一个脉冲数据格式,使得液晶显示看起来像是一个具有正确灰阶透明度以及色彩温度的似脉冲式(impulse-like)数据显示。在一似脉冲式数据显示中,只有一帧时间的一部分时间里一像素才会被点亮。Furthermore, a gamma correction table (Gamma correction table) 170 is used to select the gamma voltage, so that the image data provided to the liquid crystal display is a pulse data format, so that the liquid crystal display looks like a display with correct grayscale transparency and color Impulse-like data display of temperature. In a pulse-like data display, a pixel is lit only for a fraction of a frame time.

简而言之,当输入数据被一个影像卡接收并且处理成满足显示面板的格式后,此处理过的输入数据将被储存在帧存储器控制器的一个帧存储器内。当帧存储器控制器撷取此储存的输入数据时,此储存的输入数据将被传送到一个脉冲时序产生器区块150,使得脉冲时序产生器区块150可比较在目前帧与前一个或前几个帧中的输入数据。此数据比较结果被索引并且传送到不同控制器区块,以使光学升/降时序控制器区块可产生YDIO信号以及充电时间控制器区块可产生XSTB信号以及YOED控制信号。可调整这些产生的信号来达到动态影像残影减少的目的。此外,黑色或灰阶数据插入也可用来减少动态影像残影,而伽玛校正表可用来以正确伽玛输出修正脉冲式显示数据。In short, when the input data is received by a video card and processed into a format suitable for the display panel, the processed input data will be stored in a frame memory of the frame memory controller. When the frame memory controller retrieves the stored input data, the stored input data will be sent to a pulse timing generator block 150 so that the pulse timing generator block 150 can compare the current frame with the previous or previous Input data in several frames. The data comparison results are indexed and sent to different controller blocks, so that the optical up/down timing controller block can generate the YDIO signal and the charging time controller block can generate the XSTB signal and the YOED control signal. These generated signals can be adjusted to achieve motion image sticking reduction. Additionally, black or grayscale data interpolation can be used to reduce motion image sticking, and a gamma correction table can be used to correct pulsed display data with correct gamma output.

综上所述,本发明提供一种驱动方法以及装置,用以驱动具有复数个像素的一主动式矩阵显示装置,其中影像数据提供至这些像素,产生在一帧时间的一第一周期像素的亮度,且在一接续的第二周期中,影像数据至少部分被移除以降低像素的亮度,且其中第一周期以及第二周期的总和小于或大致上等于一帧时间。To sum up, the present invention provides a driving method and device for driving an active matrix display device with a plurality of pixels, wherein image data is provided to these pixels to generate a first period of pixels in one frame time brightness, and in a subsequent second period, at least part of the image data is removed to reduce the brightness of the pixel, and the sum of the first period and the second period is less than or substantially equal to one frame time.

特别是,上述像素是设置于复数个像素列,且通过重复地驱动这些像素列以在复数个帧时间中形成一显示影像,其中复数个帧时间包括一第一组帧时间以及一接续的第二组帧时间。若第一周期中的像素总亮度小于第二周期中的像素总亮度,则提供至第一组帧时间内的影像数据可被调整,以增加第一组帧时间内像素的总亮度。In particular, the above-mentioned pixels are arranged in a plurality of pixel rows, and by repeatedly driving these pixel rows to form a display image in a plurality of frame times, wherein the plurality of frame times include a first set of frame times and a consecutive second group of frame times Two sets of frame times. If the total brightness of the pixels in the first period is smaller than the total brightness of the pixels in the second period, the image data provided to the first set of frame times may be adjusted to increase the total brightness of the pixels in the first set of frame times.

此外,至少第一组帧时间的第一周期被延长,以增加第一组帧时间内像素的总亮度。Additionally, at least the first period of the first set of frame times is extended to increase the overall brightness of the pixels within the first set of frame times.

另一方面,在第一组帧时间中的第一周期的充电时间被调整,以增加在第一组帧时间内像素的总亮度。On the other hand, the charging time of the first cycle in the first set of frame times is adjusted to increase the total brightness of the pixels in the first set of frame times.

在另一实施例中,其中在第一周期中的亮度具有一最大亮度,而在第二周期中的亮度具有一最小亮度,且在第一组帧时间内像素的最大值小于在第二组帧时间内像素的亮度时,在第一组帧时间中,提供至像素的影像数据被调整,以增加在第一组帧时间内像素的最大亮度。In another embodiment, wherein the luminance in the first period has a maximum luminance, and the luminance in the second period has a minimum luminance, and the maximum value of the pixel in the first group of frame times is smaller than that in the second group The image data provided to the pixels during the first set of frame times is adjusted to increase the maximum brightness of the pixels during the first set of frame times.

此外,可在第一组帧时间中,调整提供至像素的影像数据,以减少在第一组帧时间内像素的最小亮度。In addition, the image data provided to the pixels may be adjusted during the first set of frame times to reduce the minimum brightness of the pixels during the first set of frame times.

再者,在第一组帧时间中的第一周期的充电时间被调整,以增加在第一组帧时间内像素的最大亮度。Furthermore, the charging time of the first cycle in the first set of frame times is adjusted to increase the maximum brightness of the pixels in the first set of frame times.
